Utilizing the LIQUID.

DIR. Jabez Fisher, Fitchburg, Mass,
has what the Men England Farmer re-
CARDS the best method of saving and
using the liquid manure it has vet seen
His stable in which is kept a COW and
a horse, is quite a distance from his dwell
ing, field of several acres living be-
tween. The field has gentle slope the
stable being at the lower side and the
residence at the upper. The wastes of
the house, together with the rain falling
upon the roof of the barn, are carrie
INTO the basement, which is made water
tight by coats of cement on bottom and
sides. Once or twice year the LIQUID is
pumped out and distributed over the
held from water-cart with sprinkler at
tached. The cart is filed from a chain
pump in the barn floor and the outlet to
the sprinkler is made Just large enough
to allow the cart to be emptied in going
once across the field up the slope. MANY
who attempt to use liquid manure fail
from using it in too concentrated form.
1t can hardly be used too weak, except
Tor the cost of hauling so much water"
The above field under this treatment
is kept continually in grass and Yields
heavy crops of excellent hay. To those
who cannot afford to haul for agricultur-
al purposes a substance that must be com
posed largely of pure water Mr.. Chee-
yer advises as follows, as the result of
his own experience: "Use sufficient bed
ding material for farm stock to keep the
animals clean and comfortable. 1t may
be straw, damaged hay, sawdust or dry
peat. loan or sand. These will absorb
the liquid and will hold the valuable por-
ton, even though much of the water is
evaporated by exposure to the air or by
gentle fermentation. In localities where
grain is abundant, straw is one of the
best and cheapest substauces;fo absorb
ing the stable liquids. 1t is often spread
thlckIy over the cattle yards and in some
cases pumps are set in the lowest pay, for
pumping the drainage over the top, thus
aiding the evaporation of the water and
the decomposition of the straw. "-Nes

A Diamond Monomanic.

A man of medium height and sub
stantial build walked up and down the
corridor of the Continental in the after
noon. On his scarf shone pigeon blood
ruby, surrounded with diamo ds. On
his left little finger sparkled a large
solitaire blue diamond. From his watch
chain dangled Masonic mark. studded
with large diamonds, and on the left side
of his vest, just peeping out from under
the lapel of his coat, was massive gold
medal, with a fringe of diamonds run
ming all around it. No wonder the man
is known as THE Diamond King" He
is Colonel Andrews, and is proprietor of
a jewelry store in San Francisco, which
is known as the Diamond Palace. "
There is a lumber of diamonds set in
the ceiling and the walls of the store,
and the diamond decorations of the
establishment are worth fortune. The
Travellers Association presented Colonel
Andrews with the big medal he wears.
1t is worth as much almost as Chestnut
street residence. Colonel Andrews is the
pioneer diamond king of the Pacific
slope. He went out there and sold
diamonds TO the FOrty-niners who had
struck it rich, and he struck it rich,
| too. Philadelphia Times.

A Fish That FOrages on Lands

Though a true fish, the barramunda
leaves its native streams at night, and
sets out on a foraging expedition after
vegetable food in the ne ghboring wood
lands. There it browses on myrtle leaves
and grasses, and otherwise behaves itself
in a manner wholly unbecoming its pis-
cine antecedents and aquatic education.
To fit it for this strange amphibous life,
the barramunda has both lungs and
gills; it can breathe either air or water
at will, or, if it chooses, the two together
Though covered with scales, and
most fsh-like in outline, it presents
points of anatomical resemblance both
TO salamanders and lizards and
as a connecting bond between the
North American mud. fish on the one
hand and the wonderful lepidosiren on
the other, it forms a true member of the
long series by which the higher animals
generally trace their descent from re-
mote race of marine ancestors. 1t is
very interesting, therefore, to find that
this living fossel link between fish and
reptiles should have survived only in the
fossil continent, Australia. Everywhere
else 1t has long since been beaten out of
the field by its own more developed
amphibian descendants; in Australia
alone it still drags on lively existence
as the last relic of an otherwise long
forgotten and extinct family. Corn

The Best Stable For a Horse.

A horse is best in a loose stall 10 feet
square, in which he can move about free
ly. The feed box and manger should be
four feet high to prevent the dropping of
manure in it. 1t will do no harm to leave
the manure in the stall to accumulate un-
til it is foot or more in depth, if the
floor is well Uttered and the horse kept
clean. There should be plenty Of air for
ventilation and a window on the north
side protected by bars inside against
breaking by the horse. The window
should be long and narrow and horizon
tai as to its length, and made lin two
parts, one sliding over the other so that
it can be half opened. A horse should
not be watered in its stable; an outside
trough in which the water is warmed by
the sun is most agreeable and healthful
for horse. A large yard adjacent to
the stable should be provided in which
the horses may take exercise. If horse
is i'll tempered and tyrannical toi mates
it should be turned into separate yard
alone to prevent injury New York

Night Air.

at often has seemed queer to me that
so many object TO night air in their bed
rooms, observed an intelligent gentle
man. "We can't breathe any other at
night. The choice is between probably
pure air from without and certainly foul
air from within. Half the diseases from
which we suffer are caused by keeping
the windows down. The quietness, the
absence of dust and ETC., make night the
best time for airing a patient. In great
cities night air is often the purest that
can be had in the twenty-four hours. 1t
IS conceded that the air in London is
never so good as after ten O'Clock at night.

made 10 shut, yet toomany of us seem TO
forget that l keep bedroom windows

MOther-Of-Pearl Fishing.

Mother of-pearl fishing is carried on
all over the Red Sea, from the north
down to the Gulf of Alden, but the best
fishing grounds are in the neighborhood
of Suakim, Massowah and the Farsan
Islands. The fishing feet consists of
about 300 boats, mostly belonging to the
ZObeid Bedouius, a tribe inhabiting the
coast between Jeddah and Yambo.
About fifty belong to Jeddah and others
to other localities. They are open boats,
of from eight to twenty tons burden,
with one lateen sail. The crew varies
from eight TO twelve mel. There are
two different fishing seasons, one of four
and the other of eight months, and dur
ing these the boots remain almost con-
stantly at sea, except for few weeks.
The crew, consisting in great part of
black slaves, receives two-thirds of the
catch, deduction being made for their
food; the owners of the boat keep the
other third. Accidents are seldom heard
of, and the divers are remarkable for
their physical vigor and robust health.
They range in age from ten to forty, and
the work seems to do them no harm.
The fishing grounds are in the neighbor-
hood of coral reefs, where the boats are
anchored. The divers then go out in
small canoes, specially imported from
the Malabar coast for the purpose, and
/ begin their work all round. 1t is neces-
sary that the sea should be calm, other
wise the shells cannot be seen. For
some years past the negroes have been in
the habit of using old tin canisters
with glass in the bottom, to enable
them to see better. In the course of the
last ten years the catch has fallen ten to
twenty per cent, but by reason of the
increased price good and bad shells have
met with a ready sale. The annual pro-
duction varies from 1920, 900 to $17O, 900.
